Some of you are ridiculous.

The dude gave information on his experience with suspension. Basically he has rode in other cars so this is an "AMATEUR" review. Not some magazine review, someone that has had 30 240's with 50 different types of suspension.

So with this knowledge of this thread, if you fall under the category I'm new to 240's, never had suspension before, want some cheap coilovers, daily drive your car, or want something that rides decent then this is a good review.

If you are looking for a detail specs of how the damping handled going 75mph in a corner while the ass end is sideways vs. another coilover doing the exact same driving technique, with the same atmosphere temperature vs road temperature, etc, etc ......then this thread is probably not for you. So why post? To get your post count up so you can be ultra cool on Zilvia?

Personally I wouldn't buy these coils but because I have different preferences. I just wanted to read the thread to see what others thought about these cheaper coilovers. Nothing he said made me change my mind to go buy them but I didn't have to bash his thread about it.

K Thanks.

Don't call this thread a review, call it "I bought Isis coilovers, installed them and took some shitty pictures"

That's your problem, I don't really think people are giving you a hard time about "Isis" coilovers they are just saying that this ISN'T anything close to a review or comparison.

It's kinda like a 2nd hand review basically. I have a Jeep Wrangler and I read reviews all the times on parts. One in particular is mudtirereview or jeepreview. I can't remember off the top of my head. Anyways I read the tire reviews. They provide a magazine/professional review at the top and then at the bottom the amateur reviews/2nd hand reviews. You get so much mixed thoughts on the same product that it's hard to make a judgement unless you see the product in your face and test it out. I have Boggers on my Jeep. I love them. I like the strength of them, the deep lugs on them, the noise they make. But I don't daily drive my Jeep. Others reviews say they hate them or they suck at this or they are the best at this.

It's all personal preference on a user based forum. The professional/magazine reviews are your best bet to get a accurate comparison to another product and specific numbers of how those products performed.

to be frank with you... yes it is... at least by definition. but that's not important on zilvia, instead e-penis size is MUCH more important.

re·view

 /rɪˈvyu/ Show Spelled[ri-vyoo] Show IPA
–noun1.a critical article or report, as in a periodical, on a book, play, recital, or the like; critique; evaluation.

2.the process of going over a subject again in study or recitation in order to fix it in the memory or summarize the facts.

3.an exercise designed or intended for study of this kind.

4.a general survey of something, esp. in words; a report or account of something.

10.Bridge. a recapitulation of the bids made by all players.

11.Theater. revue.


now everyone that wants to argue about how this is not a review can go fuck themselves. if the mods see fit, just to end this MINDLESS debate, they can change the title to "isis coilovers opinion" or "isis coilovers by some guy who bought them and happens to like them" i don't care. i'm honestly going to unsubscribe from my own thread because you guys can't get over the fact thet "boo fuckin hoo, he didn't compare 500 other brands using a coilover dyno" and "his pictures are bad" if you don't like the info just GO AWAY!!!!!! fuck...

Why are people still saying that this was a review?

Yay I put new OEM shocks and springs on my car and they are better than old blown OEM shocks and springs.

OEM shocks and springs are the best ever.

Stick your shiny new coilovers in your pipe and smoke it.

still doing well, i only tke the 240 out very seldom as the single cam has spun bearings, but i did get out the other day to whip some turns and they took it like a champ. no bounce during hard cornering and the tire breaking point was pretty seamless...

How are you getting that from this picture? I could maybe understand if the mounting bracket was ripped off, but these look exactly like a friends coilover after running over a 2x4

i recently installed my new isis hr pro series coilovers that i got from ace up motorsports.. and just wanna say that they're the bang for the buck . have nothing but good things to say about them.. they go really low for those looking to slam there 240. i daily drive them and have them pretty stiff and have no complains..havent really taken them out to the track but from driving around street corners and braking that rear loose from time to time they feel really good.. would definatly recommend them looking for a decent set of coilovers for a good price..just hit up Ace up Motorsports for any of your 240 needs ..great deals and great customer service

In my opinion they are pretty much the same as megans, cxracing and any other lower priced coilover company. I doubt you would feel a HUGE difference in them until go from them to higher brands such as higher model STANCE, PBM, TEIN, and KW. Ive owned D2 and cxracing and both have felt just about the same. As far as the picture of the broken one goes, nothing man made is perfect but thats not to say some products arent better than others. Im sure you could break a higher end coilover given the right circumstance.

This thread and alot of people posting makes me think of a REAL wheel vs KNOCK off thread.

I've owned and/or driven on several brands of coilovers. BC Racing, Dmax, Parts Shop Max, Tein, etc etc etc, and can say that Isis feel the worst, although I haven't driven on Megan, perhaps it's the same crap.

BC's are a great value for the money, the others are a bit more expensive, and you can feel the difference. Dmax are probably my favorite, and I think you can get them for pretty much the same price as BC's now. They ride as smooth as butter, and still handle really well. PSM coils are more track-oriented, they are not as enjoyable on the road, but my S14 is a laser-guided missile on the track.

Isis, though, honestly feel like the stock, old-ass suspension you'd be taking off the car, but they're..... lower. Big whoop. Spend a few more bucks for something that's worth a damn. I'd be pissed if I paid more than a couple hundred bucks for the ride you get outa them.
